The chatter around Spider-Man in the Marvel Cinematic Universe keeps growing. After the dramatic comeback in a highly watched crossover, fans still wonder about the future of Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield in the MCU. Reports say talks are underway about both actors possibly returning for new adventures as Spider-Man in upcoming Marvel projects. Andrew Garfield is the name most frequently cited in these rumors, with sources suggesting he has entered some form of contract discussions with Marvel Studios for future appearances that could extend beyond the latest ensemble film.
Details about any deal remain unclear. It is not certain which upcoming films Garfield might join or how his version of Spider-Man would fit into other storylines. There is particular fan interest in a potential third installment of the Amazing Spider-Man series, where Garfield’s Spider-Man could collide with other iconic characters like Venom. Whether movie creators are actively pursuing such a project remains unconfirmed, but the idea has persistent appeal for fans who enjoyed Garfield’s portrayal in previous films.
Speculation has also swirled around the possibility of Garfield appearing in a broader team-up event, sometimes rumored under the banner Secret Wars. Rumors about a Secret Wars project have circulated for some time, and some insiders hint that Marvel Studios might be laying groundwork for such a crossover. At the same time, the possibility of Tobey Maguire rejoining the storyline cannot be ruled out, given the history of surprise cameos that have sparked excitement among audiences.
The first film in this recent wave, Spider-Man 3: No Way Home, released in December 2021, brought Maguire and Garfield back to the screen alongside Tom Holland. That reunion was widely celebrated and became a catalyst for renewed interest in the various incarnations of Spider-Man. Since then, fans have pressed for sequels featuring the same actors in prominent roles, but no official announcements have confirmed plans for Spider-Man 3 or Spider-Man 4 with Maguire and Garfield in those exact configurations.
